Cold AC and a small fridge inside the cabin," noted one visitor about their experience at a nearby campground.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The Durango North-Riverside KOA offers cabin units equipped with electricity, porch lighting, and outdoor amenities including picnic tables and fire pits. Many cabins accommodate small families with bunk bed configurations, though some larger options exist for groups. Pet policies vary by location, with some properties designating specific pet-friendly cabins. Most campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during summer months from May through October. A camper described their KOA cabin experience: "Cabins have a single and a bunk, power, porch light, picnic tables and firepit. Office has firewood."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries.

Bathroom and shower facilities are generally shared community amenities rather than private in-cabin features, with most properties maintaining clean, accessible facilities.

"HOWEVER, last year (2024), new management took over, and the park is getting back on track! This is one of the most unique parks I have ever stayed at."

TravelerWe camped in the dry camping area and found a shady site. Bathrooms and water spigots were plenty. Avery nice camping experience.
We did not know what to expect in our visit to Mesa Verde. Plan to drive 50 miles or so inside the park to see all of the sites.
Legend2 campgrounds. South CG is a mile from main CG but 1 block from Downtown Silverton. Sites are small but plenty of things to do in area. Facilities are spotless and staff is friendly. Just keep in mind if you choose to stay at South CG it is in a residential neighborhood. I had no issues. People here are great.
TravelerOne of our new favorites. Remote, quiet, and great staff. Very welcoming. Spent a week there and absolutely loved it. Scenery is amazing.
ScoutAn hour from telluride, Durango, Mesa Verde national park, 30 minutes to Canyons of the Amcients. Lots of stuff to do. The showers are powerful, Hot, very clean.
ScoutWe've been coming to Silverton Lakes RV Park Campground for the past five years, and it continues to be one of our favorite places to stay in Colorado. We visited again this July, and as always, had an amazing experience. The weather was perfect, with cool, crisp mornings and sunny afternoons with rain some days that made it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. What really keeps us coming back year after year is the incredible staff. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, always going out of their way to make sure guests have everything they need. You can truly tell they care about providing a great experience. The campground is always clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. We highly recommend Silverton Lakes RV Park Campground to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable camping trip. We already can't wait to come back next year!
ScoutLike most busier camp sites, expect a couple of generators, last time the one next door started at 1:00am, that is simply I don’t care about others!!! Having said that you’re surrounded by amazing 13k peaks and the stream is right there…
ScoutVery nice helpful and informative awesome views and location
ScoutEnjoyable park. Long windy road to get here but good pavement. Park seems a little crowded, streets are narrow. Full hook ups are adequate, spaces are small, but far enough from neighbors for privacy. Lots of very large pine trees add to the beauty God created in this area.
GuideI was unsuccessful in reserving a campsite from my phone, but fortunately the campground is huge and getting a drive-up site was no problem. I arrived after the camp store closed and instructions were to pick an open site then check-in in the morning. This worked well because not all sites are equal - some are tiny, some are sloped, some you have to walk a path or up stairs to get to your table and tent pad. I was in the tent loop which got pretty crowded and noisy on the weekend, but I noticed that the other loops were nearly empty.
Free hot showers and a coin laundromat are available to all park visitors (you don't need to be camped there), there's a camp store and also small breakfast cafe that serves made to order breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and pancakes. There's a gas station (pricey) if you didn't plan your gas sufficiently for the long drive to the sites and a kennel because dogs aren't allowed on the trails or tours.
Deer regularly roamed through the campground, adding a nice touch.

Swimming options: Several cabin locations offer swimming areas for children. At Pagosa Riverside Campground, "We got a great spot by the little lake on the property.
